Gates the escape of that most valuable
gas, ammonia. What has happened? ?
The lime has combined with the acid,
and ammonia is set free as gas. which
being but little more than half as heavy
as the air rises and escapes. Now, the
excrements of animals and lime mixed
with them sets free in the same way
the gas, ammonia, which gives to these
fertilizers their chief value.
(2.) Lime sometimes performs an
other important function. 1t corrects
the acidity of soils, just as we use it to
correct the acidity of the stomach.
In the language Of chemistry, acids
and alkalis are antipodal in their effects
and relations. When an acid combines
with base, new compound is formed
which has, as ii general statement, none
Of the opportunities of either of its
constituents. When lime-an alkali-
combines with an acid, neutral salt is
formed, having the properties neither
of acid nor of lime. Now soils are fire.
quently sour from the presence of ve-
getable acids. Soils permanently wet
are always sour, because the water ex-
cludes the atmosphere and SO prevents
the complete decomposition of the We
getable matter. Vegetable acids, under
such circumstances, are formed out of
the elements Of the organic matter,
which undergoes only partial decompo-
sition in consequence Of the exclusion
by water of atmospheric oxygen. These
acids are injurious to the crops we
generally cultivate.
The only permanent remedy Is
through drainage, by which we get rid
Of the excess Of water, and as the soil
shrinks and cracks, air finds access, the
orgnanic matter is completely decom-
posed, and so these acids are no longer
formed. When Il marsh is drained,
therefore, the atmosphere itself would
correct the acidity of the soil, but not
at once. We wish to get the benefit
the first year of the expense incurred
in draining The application of lime
will surely accomplish this result COM
bining with and neutralizing the free
acids as it sinks through the soil, and
at the same time, decomposing the large
amount of vegetable matter which has
been so long accumulating in such To-
calities.- s.-American Farmer.

A Ohild's Tears.

Once when child was ill unto
death its mother kneeled and prayed
to Heaven that its life might be spar
ed. As she prayed and wept an an
gel softly took its place beside her and
whispered: 'Heaven has sent me IN
answer to your prayer. Here is the
mirror of life: watch well and tell me
what you see."
And when the mother wiped away
her tears and held the mirror before
her the angel asked: "what is the pic
ture?:' -
at is that of fair faced boy of ten"
"Are there tears in his eyes? p
"There are no tears.
"Then the angels of Heaven are
weeping for him. Look again and
tell me what you see.'
"This time it is a youth OF fifteen.
1t is the same boy as before, but older
grown, and the face is not so gentle"
"Are there tears in his eyes: ?"
"There are no tears"
"Then there is sadness among the
angels of Heaven. When human eyes
are dry of tears the heart is full of evil"
Then the mother looked again, and
when the angel asked what she saw
she answered : "One just coming to
mans estate. 1t is the same face as
before. but it is in the darkness, and l
see lines of evil
"Look closer and tell me if you see
tears"
.'There are no tears.
.sThen there is grief in heaven and
heartaches on earth. He who never
weeps has gone far wrong. Look again
and tell me what you see.
"This time it is man in convlcts
garb: and his evil look appals my
heart"
care there no tears in his eyes :"
"There are no tears.
"Then the angels of Heaven weep.
Without tears there can be no repen-
tance. l charge You to look once more"
This time it is one lying dead IN
the darkness-no watchers-no one to
weep-nothing but the gloom of night
around him."
''And are there tears upon the face
of the dead -
"There are no tears.
"Then, alas it is another soul con.
signed to everlasting darkness! Turn
the glass and look for the last time.
What do you behold ?"
"A child-my child-upon its bed
of sickness. Oh! Angel of mercy, l
pray thee to spare its sweet young
life
care there tears :"
"Aye. there are tears.
.:Then I shall kiss them away, and
the angel of Heaven will rejoice as I
bear the innocent spirit within the
golden gates. ."-Detroit Free Press.

'ver the conundrum his charming

cousin presented.
TO love, or not to-that is the ques-
ton. Somehow I feel irresistibly at
tracted towards her, and yet what is
she after all but pretty, heartless but
terfy? Mrs. Graham has not very good
health, yet she has this fruit farm to
superlntend, besides butter-making and
in door work. And evidently Nell has
nothing to do with work except to show
her contempt for it. How | could love
her if she would only share the bur-
den with her overworked mother
Then he recalled Nell's sweet face
as she sung the dear old ballads that
he loved.
And then he saw her scarlet lips
curve in contempt when he spoke of
the beauty of the prairies, and heard
her light laugh Of scorn and fippant
reply, 'Oh, l don't know anything
about grapes except to eat them when
he had questioned her concerning their
heavy fruited grapery.
And so the see, saw Of admiration
and repulsion continued.
Nell was playing her part all too
we'll.
But she was not any happier than
Lucian during the three weeks that
followed.
When Daisy, Clover and Sweetheart,
her three brown-eyed Alderneys, lowed
lonesomely for her coming: when the
great crimson clingstone peaches were
bruised by careless picking: when two
of her customers refused to take the
wheyey butter of Gretchen 5 making
she chafed inwardlv, and longed to
take the helm once more.
She dimly suspected, too, that i'll
spite of I.ucian's evident admiration,
he secretly despised her; but she was
too proud to try to win his favor bv
throwing off her mask.
And so two lives might have been
spoiled, had not one impulsive moment
broken the evil charm.
Lucian and Nell were sitting on the
shaded side-porch one morning; she
was busy with il pretty trifle of fancy
work. and he was reading aloud. Mrs.
Graham was in the kitchen making
peach marmalade
Suddenly Nell started up and inn
petuously said:
I'm not going to stand it any long
er.' With that she ran to the kitchen,
sent her mother away in spite of her
remonstrances, and took her place at
the marmalade kettle.
Mrs. Graham flew to the sympathet.
ic Sally Bean to pour forth her sorrow.
"She was doing so nicely, and all in
moment, before you could say Jack
Robinson. she came whirling out into
the kitchen and spoiled everything.
On her return to the house she found
Nell bending critically over the marina
lade. while Lucian had an arm about
her waist.

hid her her blushing face on Lucian's
shoulder.

Sally.

What Makes a Woman.

Not costly dress nor queenly air
Not grac eful form, nor lofty tread
Nor paint. nor curls, nor splendid head
Not pearly teeth nor sparkling eyes
Not voice that nightingale outyieS;
Not breath as sweet as eglantlne
Not gaudy gems, nor fabrics fine
Not all the stories of fashions mart,
Not yet the Establishments of art
Not one, nor all of these combined,
can make one woman. true, refined.
'Tis not the casket that we prize,
But that which in the casket lies.
These outward charms that please the sight
Are naught unless the heart be right.
She, to fnfll her destined end,
Must with her beauty goodness blend
Must make il her incessant care
10 deck herself with jewels rare
OF priceless gems must be possessed,
In robes of richest beauty dressed;
Yet these must clothe the inward mind,
In purity the most refined.
She who doth all these goods combine
Can mans rough nature well refine
Hath all she needs In this tra life
To tit for mother, sister, wife.
Contentment iwells within her mind
And peace doth there a lodgment tini.
He who possesses such a friend.
Should cherish well till death doth end
Woman, in fine, the mate thould be.
To sail with man Ger lites rough sea
And when the stormy cruise is DER,
Attend him to fair CLnaan'S shore.
Laughter in the house is sure cur
II the many ills, imaginary ones, tha
ssal the domestic circle. The wo
IAN who has Il bright, cheerful dispo
ton dispels one-half of those that ar
,al. She may not be the best house
eeper; the bread may not always b,
ght or the potatoes done toa turn, o
,e buttons always in place, but on
,rgets them when she is by in he
.adiness to make the best of every
ling as it comes. Home, in meas
re, is what the presiding spirit of tn
ouse makes it, the brightest or tn
loomiest spot on earth.

PROTESTS OF FOREIGN ANARCHIST

| PROTESTS OF FOREIGN ANARCHISTS
A dispatch states that "the Socialists and
| Anarchists Of London are arranging to hold a
ass-mccting to protest against the execution
| of the condemned Anarchists in Chicago" II
| is not surprising that the London Anarchists
and Socialists should sympathzc with men who
hold tho same opinions with them, but it is
singular that they should fail to perceive the
futility of such action as they propose. For
it is perfectly evident that mass-mecting OF
Anarchists to protest against the infliction OF
lawful penalties upon other Anarchists is in
all respects as inconseauent and irrelevant as
would be mass-meeting of houscbreakers to
protest against the administration Of the law
furnishing burglary. These foreign Anarchists
are on the wrong side Of the question. II is
impossible for them to bring any pressure
upon general opinion. They hold that the
Chicago Anarchists have done no wrong, and
therefore they ought not to be executed. or
course. this position involves the assumption
that murder and massacre are not wrong for
it is not possible to deny the preparation OF
murder and massacre by tho Chicago An
archists.
But with what rational purpose can men who
luuS UGLY tuc uiOidi orihudiu Va ehNh bNh'i-
alton and put themselves at odds with civil
cation assemble TO protest against the carrying
out of the sentences upon the Chicago An
archists? They certainly cannot expect that
society, against which their hands arc raised
in the Ishmaelite fashion. will consent to take
their pcrvcrse and immoral view OF the stua-
ton; that il will declare the Chicago An
archists justified in throwing dynamite bombs
and killing people In numbers; that it will
in brief become Anarchist itself in order TO
release its worst and most constituencies
enemies. The plain fact is that every An
archist demonstration against the execution OF
the Chicago Anarchists is fresh proof of the
;usticc of their sentence and Of the necessity
of carrying it out. Not single consideration
has been brought forward which can for a
moment tighten the guilt of these men. Not
whisper of regret or rcmorse for the hldcolis
crime they committed has been heard either
from them or their friends and co-agItators.
On the contrary, all the Anarchists and Social
lists everywhere have been breathing out
threatcninss and slaughter since the assassins
were sentenced TO death. and most Of them
seem really to believe that they can fIightcn
the American people into condonation of wanton
and wholesale murder. II shows how little
